eoIanIn With Wirh Is Incorrvarated Trie Bowrnanville News II VoL LXXV M. A. JAMES & SONS, Publishers BOWMANVILLE, OINT., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26th, 1929 $2.00 a Year in Advance, 5c a Greetngs..s To our Customers and Friends SOME FOLKS have said that there is no sentiment i business -- that we, of this age, have become too engrossed in business, too commaercialized, to pay heed to the fluer things of life Times have changed, it is true, since this store cele- brated its first Christmas, 47 years ago. And yet, in spite of the outward changes t ha t bave occured, the spirit of Christmas remains t h e saine. It is stili the day of universal joy, because Itîs still_--just as ithas always been -- the day when, more than at any other time, we look be- yond ourselves. It is the day on which we pause for a moment in the busy whirl of life, to realize Our dependence upon others and to acknowledge open- ly and frankly the obliga- tions we owe our friends. It is only natural for this reason that our thoughts -should go out at this sea- son to those who have helped so materially in our growth and prosper- ity. To you, therefore-- our customers and other friends -- we extend our sincere appreciation for past favors and the hope of the proprietors and staff of this Company that you, and those whose hap- piness is yours, may have a Christmas of- whole- souled joy and a New Year f ull of Happiness and Prosperity. Couch, Johuston & Cryderman 1 UME 104 LIMITED BOWMKANVILLE WHAT Ns CH'RISTMAS TO YOU? We are told thet Ghristinas of al the holidays la nearest ta being uni- versai. This festival crestes a mood which la more genera)ly felt by the1 plic than lsanmy other mood dur- ngthe year. [t la a state of mind and spirit in wiich tihe better normal impulses ave play. Christmna inclines us to iplicityT sud sincerity. What la .buplicity- the opposite of the ace fieisl, the sup- erficail, the sophisticated, the affected, the insincere, the mixed; that which la real and elemnntary. Sit may ap- pear where are castanees and ele-1 gance as well as in very moager con- ditions. Truiy great mnen and wo- men alwuays have simphicity of char- acter. You wlll find most notable ~pipe very natural, direct, frank, humble and transparent. Christmas brushes away the veneeringsa and helpa us to see and estimate our- selves, our fellow men and 1fif itseéll according te reaiity. Do you flt think, kind reader, that it la much csaier for thie average person to be good at thin festive season of year? Probably thla la because partly, that at ths time eech of us Îbye, more ini the heart than in the heed; and the heart of the whoae community is more upon thie slee'ves. In our merely in- tellectual plannings and sdieniings integrity is more likely to veer from thei straight lUne; but the heart tells and acte the truth-conatrains us te be sincere and genuine. Christmaa tends to stiniuiate the finer senti- ments i us and our affections.
